Its still sheppuds pie even though eye has substituted beef for lamb. Beef's are cheaper as they is easier to catch. Ain't my fault lambs are faster and cute.Only one problem thay is cottage pies

Do you mean a "jubly"?I remember just after decimalisation being given 10p a week pocket money. In those days it was enough for one of those big orange iced lollies. Around a week and a half's pocket money was enough for a Matchbox toy car. Shortly afterwards we moved house yet again and pocket money was suspended, never to be seen again as family finances deteriorated. But there was a brief period of relative wealth in 1971.
Mine started out as tuppence then about five years later it went up to a tanner. Upon the death of my father I did far more jobs for my mum and it reached the dizzy heights of one and sixpence - I thought I was rich!My stars you were lucky!
Mine started as a threepenny bit, then a tanner, then a bob, then went all the way up to the dizzying heights of a florin.
Maybe that is why I am so tight!
That was just over half of my monthly teachers salary in 1965Do you mean a "jubly"?
Can barely remember what I spent mine on, it usually went that morning (always a Saturday) in the local sweet shop. Never saved a penny. Although I seem to remember buying sets of toy soldiers, Britain's probably.
By the time decimalisation came along I had been in boarding school for a few years. So pocket money was handed out if you requested it from your housemaster. I never dared ask for much.
I remember overhearing an older lad saying to his mate "I've spent £20 this term and I've done nothing!" I nearly passed out! That was the equivalent of a third of the Exhibition I had won in the scholarship exam! £20 was twice my first weekly wage.

We are off to see the vet soon to arrange for the one with whom we had all the problems to have her teeth out, the dodgy ones, and to pick up some of those flipping expensive flea and tick treatment tabs that'll cover them for 3 months.
Seems to be worse since I cut the "grass".
Truly there is nothing like making your own entertainment!!Lad in the yards birthday today & his GF got a massive banner made up with pics of him when he was a wee lad haha

I had made plans with her to meet up & put it on the fence on the way into the yard, she phoned me on the
way here & said all the leccy in the car has died, she had no lights after this was after 10pm so it was pitch black here.
I met her down the road & we went to put the banner up but the car died when we putting it up
We were in fits of laughter & he was in his caravan just inside the gate so didnt want to get busted I had to flee out of site
